Dalles Man Dies In Truck Plunge

Roy Alvin Evans, 55, Route 2, The Dalles, died in a local hospital Friday evening
of injuries received two hours earlier in an auto accident about three miles west
of Lyle [Washington] on a private road during a driving rainstorm.

The pickup truck in which Evans was a passenger left the road and plunged down a
50 foot ravine, throwing Evans and his brother-in-law, Erwin Sauter, 60, Lyle, 
out of the vehicle, according to the Washington state patrol.

Evans, critically injured when the truck rolled over him, was rushed by Sauter’s 
son to a Dalles hospital where he died at 6:15 p.m. Friday.

Also taken to the hospital was Sauter, whose condition Saturday was described as 
satisfactory. Sauter’s left leg was injured and he received lacerations of the 
right eye.

Funeral services for Evans will be held at 10:330 a.m. Tuesday at the Smith 
Callaway chapel with the Reverend N.A. Sorenson officiating.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars will officiate at graveside services with burial at 
Dutch Flat cemetery.

Evans was a lifetime resident of this area, a veteran of World war 1 and was born
here October 2, 1896.

He is survived by his sisters, Mrs. Erwin Sauter, Lyle [Washington]; Mrs. Cy 
Cooper, Winchester Bay [Oregon]; Mrs. Fred Oaks, The Dalles; Mrs. Earl Bowers, 
Prineville [Oregon]; and Mrs. John Potts, Stevenson, Washington.
